Swept 0-4 in 1995, but the players roster was obviously more stacked with Penny and Shaq, compared to just Dwight in 2009.
Shaq and (peak) Penny were obviously/arguably bigger stars than Dwight ever was.

C’mon man. There’s barely any Magic fans as is on this sub and definitely not any old enough to remember 1995.
Lmao, I had to double check I wasn’t on the magic sub after reading this post title
I remember. I was 10 years old and a Penny fiend.

Shaq bandwagon fan, then a Memphis State/Penny guy (years before the Grizzlies relocated) so, duh.
Penny/Shaq is still the best synergistic young duo I have ever seen.
Nick Anderson bricked 4 straight free throws.
Shaq signing with the Lakers ended a “sure thing” Orlando Magic dynasty, but Dennis Rodman getting traded to the Bulls gave Chicago the edge (at least short-term/intermediate term) over Orlando.
Well, that’s the NBA. You just never know.
I got to watch Magic legends Terry Catledge, Reggie Theus and Dave Corzine. 95’s missed free throws were worse than the Howard Finals loss. Had Devos paid Shaq there would have been a great Bulls-Magic rivalry. we had eliminated them when Jordan came back, they got us the next year…then our owner felt Shaq wasn’t worth $100 million.
Reggie Theus was once the Chicago Bulls’ best player; he was traded because he wanted to remain the team’s number one option over some rookie named Michael Jordan (Dave Corzine was also on the Bulls at the time)
Went to KC I believe. I met him in a gun store back in 89.
Tbf, certainly seems like a lot of old Magic “fans” from that era are now conveniently fans of other teams. We lost a lot of bandwagon fans over the years.
